Through the Windows Quilt Pattern

Monday January 5, 2009
quilt patternsThrough the Windows is a quilt pattern inspired by a carpet I saw in Arizona recently, a perfect design for the Arizona Quilt Challenge. But it's simple to dramatically change the quilt's appearance -- just alter your fabric choices. Black sashing and corner triangles (at the tops and bottoms of strippy vertical rows) blend with the outer border, helping the quilt resemble a three-paned stained glass window. Blocks finish at 6" square and the completed quilt measures about 37-1/2" x 42".

Hi Janet

Thank you for posting this pattern .. you posted this at just the right time for a gift for my cousin .. I opted for rotary cutting on this – much easier and less stressful for me at the time :D Here’s the blog post for his quilt and i’m going to submit this for your gallery :)

Grace finished her quilt, and sent a photo of it for the Arizona gallery. Her vibrant colors are very pretty.
